2018, 2019, and 2020... the years pass and things change, but if 2020 has thought me anything, it’s how grateful I am for my little family.... Christmas is kind of a bummer this year; but we are making the best of it!... Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to all!!! May this holiday season be kind to you.

Meet my new assistant... what he lacks in skills he makes up for in cuteness.

So I decided to do things a little different this year... with my cute child running around and throwing balls, I wanted to make sure the Christmas tree was pretty, but still safe from flying objects and or tiny hands... So I just stuck with florals and shatter proof bulbs, but I felt like it was still missing something.... so I decided to dehydrate some oranges for a little pop of color... it was actually a nice distraction from everything. Because of covid we won’t be hosting any holiday parties, so there really isn’t a rush for me to get the house decorated, and this just let me tinker for a bit and just enjoy making something pretty.

Did anyone else take their time this year? What’s some of your favorite holiday DIY’s?
